Truly effective ministry is built solely on a foundation of your personal intimacy with Jesus.
The Refuge Retreats
There is no substitute for a getaway retreat when it comes to creating watershed moments of depth with Jesus.
+ Reset perspective
+ Recharge your batteries
+ Remember what matters
+ Restore deep intimacy with Jesus
+ Refocus your mission
+ Rest in Quiet
+ Retreat to Jesus
+ Remove distractions
Refuge Retreats are designed solely with these purposes in mind.
These retreats are currently for men involved in vocational ministry. Each retreat will remain small in number so as not to create a crowded feeling. Each retreat includes abundant, rich time with the Lord in the middle of some of God’s beautiful handiwork. There will be some optional life-giving activities (ATVs, skeet shooting, hiking, and more), a few messages simply on connecting to the heart of Jesus (not how to’s, or nuts and bolts), good fellowship, and good food. The retreats take place at Spring Valley Ministries; a wonderful retreat property 75 minutes northeast of Tulsa in Eucha, OK.
The price is $100 per person as the large majority of the cost has been covered by generous donors!

Testimonials
“The Refuge is just that, not just a place of shelter, but a time of shelter as well. Seldom as pastors and leaders do we get time alone…for ourselves,,,,with no agenda. It was a wonderful experience that was both a blessing and refreshing. Thankful for the work Don does to serve the Kingdom this way.”
“In my adult life I’ve neglected to take a retreat that focused on spending long periods of time sitting and resting at the feet of Jesus. The Refuge Retreat provided a space for me to intentionally connect on a deeper level with Jesus and to be reminded that the anthem of my life is to do all things with Him.”
“The Refuge retreat was an incredible time to connect with the Lord and to be encouraged through pragmatic and practical teaching to cut straight to the heart of Abiding with Jesus and trusting in him. I could not recommend more The Refuge and the opportunity provided to abide with Christ.”
“As I drove to Spring Valley Ranch I anxiously finished up work. As I left Spring Valley Ranch a sense of calmness and contentment overflowed. The goal of abiding in Jesus was the goal. This time abiding didn’t stop at Spring Valley Ranch, and I’m eager to be with Jesus more.”
“The Refuge Retreat provided a sanctuary of peace and renewal, allowing me to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Surrounded by nature and supported by a community of like-minded individuals, I found solace, reflection, and the encouragement I needed to recharge my spirit. It was truly a transformative experience that I’m grateful for.”
